Susana C. Gonçalves, PhD (Biology, Ecology) has founded and now coordinates the MyCoLAB at the Centre for Functional Ecology, after joining the University of Coimbra in 2019 as a junior researcher. Her laboratory generates knowledge about fungi: their biodiversity, ecology and conservation (including extinction risk), and their use in applied contexts for sustainability. Since the start of her contract, Susana has published three times in top journals: Science, Frontiers in Ecology and Environment, and Nature Communications. Of the papers published since 2019, 78 % are in the top 25 % of the most cited papers worldwide, with a total of 459 citations. The number of co-authors has increased to 129, of which 73 % are international. She has co-authored an international report and edited a book. She has also organized and participated in several scientific meetings as a member of the respective committees, session organizer or guest speaker. Since 2019, she has coordinated or been part of the team of different kinds of research projects (African Union, Erasmus+), including citizen science-based. Susana is currently supervising two PhD students, and has supervised several undergraduate internships and three master thesis. She has taken part in several juries for master's and doctoral theses. She teaches a second cycle course offered at the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra for various master degrees and also as a non-degree course. She is a member of the Species Survival Commission of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (www.iucn.org), the current chair of the European Council for the Conservation of Fungi (www.eccf.eu) and an associate researcher of SPUN (www.spun.earth) and the Pringle Lab (https://pringlelab.botany.wisc.edu).
